Honda celebrates 50 years in America

Honda is 50 years old today, and much of its early success is the result of a series of brave, bold decisions acted upon by smart engineers-turned-executives. That and dumb luck. But we'll get to the dumb luck later.

Best Western Hotels rolling out EV charging points in the UK

We’re electric car sceptics – or at least sceptical about their ability to replace the ICE car as our principal form of personal transport – although EVs do have their place as runarounds in urban areas, where their limited range isn’t really a factor. But taking your EV off for a weekend jaunt does pose logistical problems when the average range is probably no more than 80 miles, and something worth making the effort for a weekend away is almost always going to be further away than that. But a bit of smart marketing by Best Western Hotels – a group of 270 or so independently run hotels round the UK – means EV drivers will soon be able to plot their weekend away on the basis of Best Western Hotels en route, with Best Western planning on fitting EV charging points in their car parks, with half their hotels having free charging points by September.

But we wonder if Mercedes sense of humour will stay intact with Jaguar’s latest video?
